Oh !!!
Now I do remember why my pulseaudio system works. It's because I
followed to the letter this howto:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/PerfectSetup/
Well, having a look at it, it seems it changed quite a bit. But
that's
what I followed.
The question is: why don't we have this by default in Debian? Why
would
it be up to the user to configure each and every software to use the
correct audio stack? IMO, it'd be great if we had consistency.
Probably because, "Debian is about choice", which makes such
wide-ranging changing
impossible. Because pulseaudio is not assumed, because udev is not
assumed, one can
not put a configuration in /etc/asound.conf that says to use pulse.
Because that would
remove choice, which is important to these non-PA users. Remark that it
is important
to them especially because we cannot configure this by default, so PA
does not work
(by default), so does not work, so it is important to be able to go
without PA :-/
In my experience, sound not working in PA was due to one program using
the alsa driver
while the other uses PA, and not saying Alsa to use PA for mixing.
